Giedi Prime /ˈjeɪdi/ is a fictional planet in Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel Dune. Novelist Herbert used this planet as an allegory warning against the potential costs and dangers of running a military industrial complex driven by fear and greed. In contrast, the Atreides home planet, one run on principles of respect and loyalty, is portrayed as a green and pleasant land. A planet of Ophiuchi B (36), Giedi is the homeworld of the vicious House Harkonnen, the sworn enemies of House Atreides.
